DUBROVNIK – Museum-Centered Learning: Innovation, Interaction, and Digital Transformation

This course is available in 6-day or 5-day formats. Please choose your preferred length in the preregistration form.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Museums as spaces for digitalisation, creativity, and engagement
In modern society, museums and galleries hold greater significance than ever before. They have transformed from exclusive spaces that store curated collections into inclusive, lively institutions that welcome a broad and varied audience. Today, museums serve as cultural and educational hubs that bring together multiple disciplines—technology, art, science, and history. They spark curiosity and inspire wonder, encouraging new ideas that support both personal and professional development.

Discover Dubrovnik’s museums and cultural traditions – the Jewel of the Adriatic
This course is designed to immerse teachers in a unique learning environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and strong analytical and observational skills. Participants will also explore how museum-based methodologies and teaching approaches can support and enrich their everyday classroom and extracurricular activities.

Guided by our experienced teacher trainers, participants will explore museum exhibitions and attend hands-on workshops connected to natural sciences, social sciences, and emerging technologies.

While visiting Dubrovnik’s Old Town—with its renowned museums—and the picturesque island of Lokrum, said to be the place where Richard the Lionheart was shipwrecked, participants will gain insight into how museums collaborate with schools and educators in designing and developing educational projects.

In addition, the informal setting gives participants the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with colleagues from across Europe while getting to know Croatian traditions, cultural heritage, and natural landscapes.

By the end of the training, participants will walk away with an innovative and practical toolkit to enrich their teaching practices, inspire students, and encourage broader thinking.

Please note that museum visits and activities may vary depending on factors such as staff availability, group size, or unforeseen logistical challenges.
